*	bjps_powell_tucker_dataset.dta is the replication dataset for	*;
*	Powell and Tucker.  It was downloaded from 			*;
*	www.eleanorneffpowell.com on December 15, 2014.			*;
*									*;  
*	volatility.do takes bjps_powell_tucker_dataset.dta and 		*;
*	produces the results in Table 1. It also saves a new dataset, 	*;
*	bjps_powell_tucker_dataset2.dta, that contains the correct	*;
*	values for GDPChange1989 for Bosnia-Herzegovina.  We obtained 	*;
*	the correct values from the EBRD's Transition Report 2012, 	*;
*	p. 103. This data can be found at:				*;
*     www.ebrd.com/downloads/research/transition/assessments/bosnia.pdf	*;
*	The GDPChange1989 values for 1989-2012 in Bosnia are saved 	*;
*	as Bosnia_GDP.xls.						*;
